Abstract
A method for controlling the acceleration rate of a vehicle based on the vehicle's location includes determining, via one or more sensors, that the vehicle is at a first location and reducing the vehicle's initial target acceleration rate to a first adjusted target acceleration rate in response to the location satisfying a first location condition. Subsequently, the method includes determining that the vehicle has reached a second location and increasing the first adjusted target acceleration rate to a second adjusted target acceleration rate in accordance with determining that the vehicle has reached the second location. This method can be applied to vehicles operating in autonomous or semi-autonomous modes.
